This little flower is of the genus Lithophragma in the family Saxifragaceae. To be certain which species it is we would have to see the seeds, basal leaves, pubescence and/or calyx. It has to be one of these species: Lithophragma glabra, L. parviflora or L. tenella. My gut tells me its the first, but I can't be sure.
